Unfortunately no, as far as my knowledge goes, the japanese version of the game and a japanese ps2 are needed in order to play through the server, either that or emulator. You could also buy swap magic for your current ps2, this is a method to trick the ps2 into reading japanese games and having you play them, but you do need the game itself, that is a definite requirement.

you dont need a Japanese PS2,Its just that you'll need a swap magic or modified ps2.

Oh. xD Im gonna try to use console to play the game,but im afraid its too much to handle. I had Japanese discs but they broke. But i was lucky enough to make a backup copy on my PC. so i rar'ed them just incase. Of a possible intentional side effect.

I play REO from my PAL PS2. install Free McBoot. takes 5 minutes if you put the correct files in the correct places. There is a Youtube video for that. Buy the JP disc's and then create an ios? iso? Burn an image of it and burn it to a 4.7gb dvd-r. and your done.

Plus I doubt you can even find Swap magic anymore. I certainly can't.

The only Swap Magic I have successfully found and bought is NTSC-U. I can't seem to find the PAL or NTSC-J one anymore. It will become harder to find especially since they don't make Swap Magic anymore.

US HDD's do not work with JP consoles. My life is shit.
So I'm using my US console w/HDD and playing the game with Swap Magic instead. I'll try and log on Friday night.

Hey man, just wanted to let you know though that even if you got the game to work on an American ps2 you'd still need to patch the dnas or else unfortunately you'd still won't have access to the server.

You're right; I just had this problem. I'm on my US fat PS2 and I can't pass DNAS.

If you have a "fat" model PS2, you will also need a broadband adapter. Bear in mind that you will need to pass the DNAS check. You can search for ways to bypass the DNAS check, but we will not discuss that here.

^I'm guessing this is a pain in the ass. There goes my HDD option. Any other advice?

So, plan B: I tried logging on with my Japanese slim PS2. I got past the DNAs check, but now I can't log in; it keeps telling me "your login/password combination is wrong."

I can't log in! I'm entering my username and password details exactly as they are on the forum.
Make sure that your router or modem is not altering packets. You may be behind a proxy or a part of some other configuration that does not pass packets through unaltered. Try connecting your device directly to the internet and bypass your router.

What the hell is this.
Well, I'm at a friend's house and I have a cable going from his router to my PS2. It's not practical for me to connect his internet directly to my PS2, so I'm out of ideas to keep his router from "altering packets". I'm searching the net now for some straight-forward advice.

'' Nor is there an excuse not to purchase a legitimate copy.'' Is kinda silly. Imo if i have already have a legit copy of the game (pal) I dont think it should have to buy it again to enjoy the game fully. + Capcom isnt reciving any money anymore from this game so they couldnt care less if we got it illegally or not. Just my opinion though.

Since we're trying to avoid attracting unnecessary attention from Capcom, whether they are making money off of any copies of Outbreak is besides the point. People need to understand that we cannot endorse any kind of piracy here- whether you have a philosophical disagreement or not.

All right,i don't know whom i should write to
When I set settings in the game by itself,typing in IP/etc. it goes up 100% but then Now Loading and a blue window,without IP there is a window *Japanese* DHCP PS2 *Japanese*.So,does anybody have a solution?
